Is there a way to calibrate the touchscreen on an iphone5s? My screen is possessed and starts going crazy completely on its on

iPhone 5S touchscreen is not responding correctly to my touch. Then is acts like I'm holding down letters on the keyboard and randomly opening Apps, and I am unable to get any control over my phone. I have tried resetting it multiple times. It may stop it for a min or so, but then it starts back up. I updated to iOS8 hoping it would fix the problem, but it did not. And another issue I'm having is my screen is not turning off when making a phone call. The screen never turns black when the ear piece area is covered up. Therefore it is muting and going to FaceTime constantly. I am getting extremely frustrated with my iPhone. HELP ME.

Hi GodseyFamily,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue with the Multi-Touch display on your iPhone, it’s behaving erratically. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips and suggestions that will resolve issues like this.

TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?

Here's some things you could try....

Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11?

Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11? Most editing apps--like Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Pro, Avid, etc.--use this convention. I find not having it slows editing down considerably? I don't see it listed in keyboard shortcuts; is there any way to add it? Thanks!

I don't think so. If you click iMovie/Help, you will see a list of all keyboard shortcuts.

Is there a way to use the time capsule as an external hard drive only and disable the wi-fi function ?

Is there a way to use the time capsule as an external hard drive only and disable the wi-fi function ?

Yes.
1) Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on your existing wireless router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
2) Go through the standard configuration suggested by the setup "wizard"
3) Then manually turn off the wireless function using AirPort Utility

Is there a way to set the iPhone to have a black screen with white text?

I found the "Invert Colors" option under Settings > General > Accessibility, and like it a lot. It provides enhanced readability.
The problem is that it inverts all colors, even for apps. So when I view a web page in Safari, all the colors are inverted for the images.
And when I view my photos in Photos, these are also inverted as well.
Is there a way to set up the iPhone to default to a black screen and white letters for the OS, but allow the apps and photos, etc. to
be viewed in their regular colors. For example, can I run Photos to view my photos on a black background but view the photos in their
normal coloring?

I'm afraid that is not possible, maybe this could bee a step in that direction if you use the mentioned Zoom function:
Invert Colors and Grayscale
Sometimes, inverting the colors or changing to grayscale on the iPhone screen makes it easier to read.
Invert the screen colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Invert Colors.
See the screen in grayscale. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn on Grayscale.
Turn on both effects to see inverted grayscale. You can also apply these effects to just the contents of the zoom window—see Zoom on page 150.

Is there no way to hold the customer service department accountable when give wrong information and charged for it?

We have been loyal Verizon customers for almost a decade and have had nothing but great things to say about our service...until about 2 months ago. Two months ago my daughter moved out of state and decided to remove herself from our family plan, Before doing so, she call Verizon's customer service department to see when her contract was up. She wanted to keep her Verizon service until the end of her contract to avoid the termination fee. The service department assured her that her contract was already up and no termination fee would be charged. You can imagine my surprise when we were charged a $138 termination fee for her line on our next bill. I called customer service again and spoke with another representative (whose name I will not disclose) and was assured that the termination fee was a mistake and that I should simply not pay that portion of the bill and the charge would disappear on the next billing cycle. I did as she said and was shocked a few weeks later when I received a less than civil call from Verizon threatening to terminate my service the next day if I did not immediately pay the $138. My wife received a similar nasty message on her phone. I explained the situation to the rep on the phone, was told that the information my daughter and I received from 2 previous representatives was incorrect, and was told to pay immediately. My daughter and I went through all the proper channels to ensure no charges from termination fees, and both of us were given misinformation on 2 separate occasions. Is there any way to hold this company accountable for its mistake? I have been in sales all my life, and if an incorrect price is quoted, I have to honor the incorrect price,even if it costs me money. This is the worst customer experience I have ever had with any company, and I'm afraid that it will eventually cost Verizon not one but five long-time customers.

I shouldn't have to "chalk it up". This company, like other companies, should be held accountable for wrong information. We went through all the proper channels to ensure this wouldn't happen. I know this fee gets waived on a regular basis for a multitude of reasons. Moving nonwithstanding, I was told by two different people who had no knowledge that my daughter was moving that she owed nothing. If two different company employees tell me there will be no ETF, I will take them at their word. This should be good enough. What's the point of getting it reactivated if she can't use it where she lives now?

The number "1" on the keypad is not working well - I keep getting "2" when I want "1" - any way to calibrate the keypad?

when i try to type a number, it's almost impossible to get a "1" - I keep getting "2" instead of "1". It's quite frustrating. Is there a way to calibrate the touchscreen?

No way to calibrate the touchscreen.
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Also, try typing in landscape.

Is there a way to retain the original date after editing?

I am using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro, OS X (10.3). I have a lot of old pictures to edit, and they are in date order, which is how I want them.
However, when I edit a picture and save it, it moves it to the bottom, with today's date instead of the original date. I have them set to save with the original as a version set.
Is there any way to retain the orignal dates, short of having to go in and reset the date on every picture after I save it? I really want them to be in date order under their original dates.
BTW, I used earlier versions that were Windows-based, and this didn't happen. When I saved them, the version sets stayed where they were.
This is really frustrating!

SK Prairie Chicken a écrit:
I'd like an answer to this too.
What's your problem exactly?
The 'date taken' is never changed by editing a picture.

HT1435 During normal charging phase is there a way to see the estimated battery% ?

A1285 (EMC 2287) iPod nano 4th Gen
During normal charging phase is there a way to see the estimated battery% ? If I am at 10% and plug in to charge and it takes 30 minutes to get to 55% then I know there are about 30 more minutes of charging until I'm at 100%.

There is an App at the App store called "Battery Magic". You can get a trial version, (free) that will show you what you want to know, including battery life, and how long you can play games, music and other things on your current battery life.
You can also download the full version. I think its $0.99.

Is there a way to remove the pulldown tab?

Is there a way to remove the pull down tab that shows weather, stocks, reminders and ect? It’s very annoying and even gets triggered while in other apps while unwanted. In fact its one of the worst ideas they have ever added to the ipod. If I wanted to see the weather and stocks I would use the apps that are not removable to view them, don’t need another tab for that. Ive looked in all the settings and don’t see anyway to fix or change it. Please advise.

I dont belive so

Is there any way to change the type of Transport like workbench to Customiz

Hi All,
Here we are having very silly question.
Is there any way to change the type of Transport like from
Workbench to Customize and from Customize to Workbench within the same client.
Assume that there the no object associated with the transport.
Your quick respose is highly appreciated...
Thanks in Advance!

No this cannot be done.
Both work bench and custimizing are separate entites when it comes to tranport layers config.
You cannot save a report change into customizing request this will be saved into work bench request only .
In the same way table entries or some customizing tasks can be captured only into custimizing tr.
Br,
Vijay.

Dashboard, is there a way to copy the dictionary answer to a looked up word?

is there a way to copy the dictionary answer to a looked up word, copy and paste?Each time I highlight the defination the command copy will not work, is there a key sequence I need to use?

Works here, I just tested. (I assume you're talking about the dictionary widget on the Dashboard.)
confused |kənˈfyo͞ozd|adjective(of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered: she was utterly confused about what had just happened | a very confused and unhappy boy.
Are you sure you're pressing command-c, not something like control-c? If you're new to Macs, the control-c keystroke from Windows may be so ingrained you're pressing that without realizing it.
Edit: Note that I didn't mean to imply you're not thinking clearly with the definition of the word I looked up, it was just the first word that popped into my mind!
